    microorganisms Review The Influence of Probiotics on the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes Ratio in the Treatment of Obesity and Inflammatory Bowel disease Spase Stojanov 1,2, Aleš Berlec 1,2 and Borut Štrukelj 1,2,* 1 Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ljubljana, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia; [email protected] (S.S.); [email protected] (A.B.) 2 Department of Biotechnology, Jožef Stefan Institute, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia * Correspondence: borut.strukelj@ffa.uni-lj.si Received: 16 September 2020; Accepted: 31 October 2020; Published: 1 November 2020 Abstract: The two most important bacterial phyla in the gastrointestinal tract, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, have gained much attention in recent years. The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio is widely accepted to have an important influence in maintaining normal intestinal homeostasis. Increased or decreased F/B ratio is regarded as dysbiosis, whereby the former is usually observed with obesity, and the latter with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Probiotics as live microorganisms can confer health benefits to the host when administered in adequate amounts. There is considerable evidence of their nutritional and immunosuppressive properties including reports that elucidate the association of probiotics with the F/B ratio, obesity, and IBD. Orally administered probiotics can contribute to the restoration of dysbiotic microbiota and to the prevention of obesity or IBD. However, as the effects of different probiotics on the F/B ratio differ, selecting the appropriate species or mixture is crucial. The most commonly tested probiotics for modifying the F/B ratio and treating obesity and IBD are from the genus Lactobacillus. In this paper, we review the effects of probiotics on the F/B ratio that lead to weight loss or immunosuppression.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Microbiota of human precolostrum and its potential role as a source of bacteria to the infant mouth Received: 24 October 2018 Lorena Ruiz1,2, Rodrigo Bacigalupe3, Cristina García-Carral2,4, Alba Boix-Amoros3, Accepted: 2 April 2019 Héctor Argüello5, Camilla Beatriz Silva2,6, Maria de los Angeles Checa7, Alex Mira3 & Published: xx xx xxxx Juan M. Rodríguez 2 Human milk represents a source of bacteria for the initial establishment of the oral (and gut) microbiomes in the breastfed infant, however, the origin of bacteria in human milk remains largely unknown. While some evidence points towards a possible endogenous enteromammary route, other authors have suggested that bacteria in human milk are contaminants from the skin or the breastfed infant mouth. In this work 16S rRNA sequencing and bacterial culturing and isolation was performed to analyze the microbiota on maternal precolostrum samples, collected from pregnant women before delivery, and on oral samples collected from the corresponding infants. The structure of both ecosystems demonstrated a high proportion of taxa consistently shared among ecosystems, Streptococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp. being the most abundant. Whole genome sequencing on those isolates that, belonging to the same species, were isolated from both the maternal and infant samples in the same mother-infant pair, evidenced that in 8 out of 10 pairs both isolates were >99.9% identical at nucleotide level. The presence of typical oral bacteria in precolostrum before contact with the newborn indicates that they are not a contamination from the infant, and suggests that at least some oral bacteria reach the infant’s mouth through breastfeeding.

Gut archaea and fungi have recently been suggested to play a role as well. In our study, the presence and number of selected species of fungi and archaea in pediatric patients with CD and healthy controls were evaluated. Stool samples were collected from children with active CD (n = 54), non-active CD (n = 37) and control subjects (n = 33). The prevalence and the number of selected microorganisms were assessed by real-time PCR.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis has shown strong associations with systemic diseases, including RA, diabetes mellitus, and inflammatory bowel disease, and inoculation of periodontopathogenic bacteria (i.e. Pg) can alter gut microbiota composition. Therefore, this study investigated dysbiosis-mediated arthritis exacerbation by Pg oral inoculation in an experimental arthritis model mouse. Methods : Pg inoculation in the oral cavity twice a week for 6 weeks was performed to induce periodontitis in SKG mice. Concomitantly, a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of laminarin (LA) was administered to induce experimental arthritis (Pg-LA mouse). Citrullinated protein (CP) and IL-6 levels in periodontal, intestinal, and joint tissues, and serum were measured by ELISA.

AD is primarily driven by an epidermal barrier defect which triggers immune dysregulation within the skin. According to recent research such phenomena are closely related to the microbial dysbiosis of the skin. There is growing evidence that cutaneous microbiota and bacterial biofilms negatively affect skin barrier function, contributing to the onset and exacerbation of AD. This review summarizes the latest data on the mechanisms leading to microbiome dysbiosis and biofilm formation in AD, and the influence of these phenomena on skin barrier function.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Structural and functional characterization of shaft, anchor, and tip proteins of the Mfa1 fmbria Received: 11 May 2017 Accepted: 12 January 2018 from the periodontal pathogen Published: xx xx xxxx Porphyromonas gingivalis Michael Hall1, Yoshiaki Hasegawa2, Fuminobu Yoshimura2 & Karina Persson1 Very little is known about how fmbriae of Bacteroidetes bacteria are assembled. To shed more light on this process, we solved the crystal structures of the shaft protein Mfa1, the regulatory protein Mfa2, and the tip protein Mfa3 from the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. Together these build up part of the Mfa1 fmbria and represent three of the fve proteins, Mfa1-5, encoded by the mfa1 gene cluster. Mfa1, Mfa2 and Mfa3 have the same overall fold i.e., two β-sandwich domains. Upon polymerization, the frst β-strand of the shaft or tip protein is removed by indigenous proteases. Although the resulting void is expected to be flled by a donor-strand from another fmbrial protein, the mechanism by which it does so is still not established. In contrast, the frst β-strand in Mfa2, the anchoring protein, is frmly attached by a disulphide bond and is not cleaved. Based on the structural information, we created multiple mutations in P. gingivalis and analysed their efect on fmbrial polymerization and assembly in vivo. Collectively, these data suggest an important role for the C-terminal tail of Mfa1, but not of Mfa3, afecting both polymerization and maturation of downstream fmbrial proteins. Humans co-exist with microorganisms that play signifcant roles in our biology. Te largest bacterial population is found in the gut, where species of Bacteroidetes are the most common Gram-negative anaerobes1.

Olesen and Eric J. Alm Dysbiosis, an imbalance in the microbiota, has been a major organizing concept in microbiome science and medicine. Here, we discuss how the balance concept, a holdover from prescientific thought, is irrelevant to—and may even distract from— useful research about the microbiome. Throughout most of Western medical history, it was believed that the digestion of foods produced humors: mostly invisible liquids that were transformed into the materials that make up the body. Humoral theory dictated that diseases were caused by imbalances in these humors. A doctor's role was to help the body correct this imbalance, either by altering a patient's diet—thus changing the intake of humors—or by expelling excess humors, for example, by bloodletting1. Now, with modern DNA sequencing technology, we know our digestive systems are actually filled with mostly invisible microorganisms that respond to our diet. We have found that altering diet, ingesting probiotics, and wholesale replacement of the microbial community can improve our health.
